Shot in documentary style from the perspective of an almost alien observer, the film is an exploration of the ravaged oil fields of post-Gulf War Kuwait. An effective companion to his earlier film Fata Morgana, Herzog again perceives the desert as a landscape with its own voice, as he glides over seas of oil, geyser-like infernos, monstrous smoke plumes and ashen roadways. With musical accompaniment by Wagner, Prokofiev and Pärt to boot, he observes the soot-covered creatures allured by the blaze. close

XX century Never before has the world changed so much, never seen so devastating wars, under the cover of which even more terrible crimes were committed. A new word appears in the dictionary – “Genocide”. The term was coined in 1944 by Polish lawyer Rafael Lemkin. The real basis for this definition was the extermination of the Armenian population in the Ottoman Empire. From 1877 to 1923, according to various estimates, from 1 to 1.5 million Armenians became victims of genocide. What's next? No conclusions have been drawn from this... And where did all this lead? close

The film continues the military theme that Alexey Pivovarov has already developed in such films as "Second percussion. Vlasov's betrayed army", "Rzhev. Unknown Battle of Georgy Zhukov", "Brest. "Serf heroes". However, unlike previous projects, in this, in addition to recreated large-scale historical reconstructions and computer graphics, which allows, along with newsreels, better to imagine the events of those years, there are some features. The most important thing is that in the making of the film "June 22." Fatal decisions were also taken by German historians and journalists, whose views on the causes of the outbreak of the war may differ somewhat from those adopted in official Soviet history.
So how did the Soviet Union become completely unprepared for war on June 22, 1941? Is it true that Stalin believed Hitler and rejected any reports from Soviet intelligence, which was claimed to have given the exact date of the attack months before the war began? Authors of the film "June 22". Fatal decisions trace the whole chain of events that began in 1938, with the Munich Treaty, and led to the beginning of one of the bloodiest wars in world history.
The original documents of that era will be read in the film actor Mikhail Efremov. close
